Atlanta loses weight: Third quarter, 2011

Erica Sawyer weighed 176 pounds when this photo was taken in July 2011. Total weight loss: 192 pounds. Her goal weight is 155 pounds. Sawyer is on a high-protein diet so she stays full throughout the day. She works out twice a day, by running in the morning and working with a trainer during her lunch break. She says, "I have a second chance at life because of my weight loss. It kept me back from so many things in life. It only takes hard work and determination to succeed in anything in life."
